Burnham Week

24 August
- 31 August 2019

Burnham week is arguably the longest running annual yacht regatta on the mainland of the UK. It is organised by the Joint Clubs Committee, comprising representatives from the four clubs in Burnham together with other members who have a specific responsibility during the week. With less than a month to go before the start of Burnham Week, final preparations are underway to welcome visitors to the town, and provide competitors with challenging racing at this popular east coast sailing venue.

The East Coast's most challenging and friendly regatta!

Burnham week is steeped in history with the first regatta taking place in 1893. Since then the regatta has grown in strength and is now an eagerly awaited date in the sailing diary. Historically it marked the closure of the racing season as the event has always taken place at the end of August.
